To book your travel insurance call us now on 01892 277040.

Here's what's great about our policies:

They have been specifically tailor-made for our trips

You can choose the right duration for your total time away (not just while you're travelling with us)

We've worked hard to keep our prices low but make sure you have great cover

Together we have designed two policy options - keeping it nice and simple. These are listed below along with prices. You can also choose Worldwide Cover including or excluding the USA, Canada and the Caribbean depending on your destinations.

Explorer: a comprehensive policy that will provide the cover you will need whilst you are travelling with Real Gap Experience.

Adventurer: for those who plan to include a few more adventurous activities such as high altitude trekking, Scuba Diving to 40m, Martial Arts programmes and much more.

Both policies have the same cover level. For a summary of this click here

Please note: Our policies have a minimum age of 16 and are available to anyone up to 70 years old. Personal accident cover is not included for customers over 55 years old on any of our policies.

Please ensure that the duration of travel insurance booked with Real Gap Experience covers you from the day you depart your home country to the day you return - ie your whole trip including flights. For example, if you book a 2 week project you will need the "up to 3 weeks" policy to cover you.

Where are you going travelling?

The USA, Canada and the Caribbean have high health care costs, and so if you are visiting these countries on your trip you need to take out the Worldwide including USA, Canada and Caribbean cover.

How much does the insurance cover cost?

Costs are based on the length of travel. See the chart for details.
